Background notes
Archive material and source history
Alkemyst formed in the early 2000s around guitarist and vocalist Aaron Stainthorpe, with drummer Chris Catalyst and bassist Nick Beggs joining to work on music that leaned toward progressive rock. Their debut album 'Liquid' came out in 2006, followed by 'Monument' in 2010. The band's name comes from the Middle English word for alchemist.
Their songs like 'Empty Skies' and 'A Meeting In The Mist' often feature intricate guitar work and a melancholic atmosphere. In 2007, their record label folded, which led them to work with independent distributors and play more grassroots shows.
Keyboardist Roy Martin joined in 2012. While their music draws from progressive rock, the inclusion of some electronica on 'Monument' drew mixed reactions from certain listeners. They've continued to release material including songs like 'Hold On To Your Dreams' and 'Still Alive'.
